Seinfeld

"Seinfeld" is without a doubt the last great sitcom ever made. Since then, all these worthless sitcoms just don't compare with this.It's original and unlike any other show because in it's whole 9 season life there was never a sad moment a serious moment never a time when you would think 'oh no God no!!!! not a another dramatic moment, i mean even when Suzann (georges fiancé)dies George and the others really don't care, when frank thinks George his own son dies he's more interested in the Yankee's Absolutely brilliant, a masterpiece of comedic ingenuity filled with laughs all the way.

The brilliance of this show comes from it's writing , for the writers (mostly Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David) could take the smallest and most insignificant thing and turn it into an unbelievably hilarious situation.
The Characters of this show are yet another reason for its eternal greatness and the premise was simple [a show about nothing] simply like that.

Jerry Seinfeld who is the center, literally. Him and co-creator Larry David have created pop culture icon. Jerry Seinfeld dominates the show in his 129 West 81st St. Apartment, New York's neat and tidy. Riffing off comedy skits in the beginning and end, with the relationship zone in between. Examining every single detail in life. With no purpose whatsoever.

Elaine Benes(Julia Louis Dreyfuss), the female lead. She considers herself God's gift to man. She's spontaneous and very wonderful to watch. Several awards went to this character, and with good reason. Whatever and whenever, she's great.

Cosmo Kramer has to be the most creative and ingenious character ever brought on to the television circuit. Based on a real guy, Kramer(Michael Richards) plays him with energetic grace if that makes sense. He knows how to fall beautifully, and has so many mannerisms that I can't count them all. He garnered a lot of awards too. And if you've seen the show, you can see why.

Jason Alexander as George. The last cast credit on the opening titles, a character so devious, so uncomfortable, so empty, it was played to a T by Jason. The short, stocky, bald loser from Queens had to get under your skin, and make you laugh at the same time. Many award nominations, no wins. Now that's a pity.

Finally, This show was totally unique. Nothing has been done like it before. While it was about nothing, it was really about everything--but the little things that no one thinks about. We always saw Kramer wear the same ridiculous jacket, pants, and shirt. George always had those too-small plaid shirts and even Jerry had the black-and-gray striped shirt we saw him wear in the one where he and George make "The Pact". Even Elaine had many of the same clothes, even after her "make-over". This show had consistent humour all the way up to the last season, which is unusual for many shows. After all that Yada Yada Seinfeld has to be the greatest show of all time.

Seinfeld is hilarious. For those people who were too young to appreciate it during its heyday like me, it's basically a classier version of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. This show was the first to take random, ordinary situations and turn them into thirty minutes of sheer genius. The characters in the show are classic and have served as models for many of the great characters of today. Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer are completely brilliant. I can't even begin to describe how good this show is. I know many people share my enthusiasm and let me just say if you haven't seen this show before, give it a chance, it'll grow on you.

    I think that the last truly great sitcom ever made was Frasier, which IMO was vastly superior to Seinfeld. Among current sitcms, 30 Rock is pretty fantastic.

    I agree with Frasier - very cleverly written, and very, very funny.

    I've seen quite a few adverts for 30 Rock, and I mean to watch it but always forget :# , perhaps I need to Sky+ it and take a look :D

    I love Seinfeld! It's so underappreciated in my group of friends. I try to get them into it all the time, but they're having none of it! :(

    It is my favourite american sit com ever (my favourite sitcom ever is Red Dwarf, but thats english)

    Seinfeld is just plain fantastic. The 4 lead characters (Jerry, George, Elaine, Kramer) are all excellent and wonderful characters in their own ways. If I had to pick a favourite then I think I'd say George, with Elaine a close 2nd.

    It's just so funny, and has spawned many classic episodes, such as 'the contest' (synopsis is too innapropriate to describe here, so look that one up if you wanna know what it's about :)) )

    I have a few series on DVD. Not all of them (there is a lot afterall), but have quite a few, and I'm pretty sure I have seen every episode of the show at least once.

    Curb your enthusiasm, by the same creater Larry David (who also stars) seems really good. Haven't properly given it a chance yet, but I like what I see, and it's obviously a writing style similar to seinfeld (but with more improvisation)

    Here's to Seinfeld! {[] What a great show!

    Just for the record, I love Frasier as well. Frasier is right up there.

    I look forward to the Feats Of Strength and the Airing Of Grievances. He he.
    If ever I found a character funnier then George Costanza, it was his dad Frank.

    Jerry Stiller was an excellent Frank and although John Randolph was servicable in "The Handicapped Spot" as George's dad, I am glad the recasting led to such great moments.

    Classic series.

    I never saw the first run episode of "The Handicap Spot." I've always seen that episode in syndication, so Jerry Stiller was in the part. Same goes for the episodes when Larry David was the voice of Newman, but where re-shot with Wayne Nights voice to keep continuity.

    Yeah, the only way to see them as aired would either have taped them back in the day, or the OFFICIAL DVD sets, and not the questionable set being proffered in the first post of this thread.

    Both episodes mentioned can be seen both ways.
